I really think it's all about how you do in the interview, and what kind of experience you have. I have never found it "hard" to get work in Calgary. Although I doubt that's the same mentality for others.
*shrug* I'm 23. Had one interview for a new grad engineering position.

Applied to a ton since then but haven't had much response. I'm hearing companies are getting hundreds or thousands of applications for each new grad position. And since I don't know anyone in the O&G industry that can give me a free ride, I know the road is going to be a lot tougher.

I still blame all those senior engineers that didn't save even though they're raking in the cash. And all those intermediate engineers that should've saved in their 5-10 years of working and not be so desperate to apply for junior positions.
